SUMMARY:Intl Jurassic Chords Quartet Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Harmonizing like it’s 65 million years ago.\nStep into our barbershop world August 1–2 in Tulsa\, Oklahoma.\nRound up your crew\, turn up the harmonies\, and buckle up. Clever Girl’s calling…a harmony adventure is about to awaken. \n\n \nRegistration is Now Open!\nThe Jurassic Chords Quartet Retreat roars to life with the Diamond Division Quartet Contest on Friday\, August 1\, then stomps into Saturday with classes from 2025 Champion Clever Girl Quartet\, tailed by the Rising Star Quartet Contest. \nREGISTER NOW!\nRegister by July 25.\nDiamond Division and Rising Star Competitors: Your exclusive Retreat registration email is on the way from HQ. Please hold off on registering for the Jurassic Chords Quartet Retreat until you receive this communication. \n  \n\nQuartet Education: Powered by Clever Girl\nQuartet 101: New to the quartet world or ready to evolve your sound? Join Clever Girl for a course in all things quartetting: coaching\, competition prep\, music selection\, outfits\, quartet personnel\, rehearsals\, song assessment tool/copyright\, and a live Q&A. \nQuartet Smarter\, Not Harder: Is your quartet lost in a jungle of arrangements? Feeling like you’re being chased by the wrong chart? Struggling to survive the wild terrain of musical choices that don’t quite fit your sound? Then it’s time to quartet smarter\, not harder! In this class\, you’ll learn how to avoid musical extinction by selecting and customizing arrangements that fit your quartet—not the other way around. \nGetting Out of Your Head and Into Your Heart: Every song has a story to tell\, and it’s up to the performer to bring the story to life for the audience. But it’s not always easy to take what’s on the page and turn it into an emotionally-charged performance. This class is about stepping out of your logical\, “control room” brain and into your wild\, beating heart—yes\, even if that means (gasp!) being emotionally vulnerable on stage. Scary? Yes. Worth it? 100%. Find how to deliver a performance that allows the audience to feel their own story in yours. Because a song that’s only sung isn’t the same as a story that’s truly felt. \nLet’s Sing A Tag! Do you love singing tags? Are you low-key terrified by them? Or are you still wondering\, “What is a tag\, and does it bite?” Whether you’re a newbie or a tag-singing expert\, this class will immerse you in the thrilling\, satisfying art form that is tag singing. You’ll learn new tags\, sing in both large and small ensembles\, and even get the chance to teach a tag if you’re up for the challenge. We’ll also explore digital resources like the Good Tags app and dig into some of the BEST tags according to Barbershop legend David Wright. \n\nJurassic Chords Retreat Schedule: Your Adventure Awaits!\n \nFriday\, August 1\nDiamond Division Quartet Contest • 6 p.m. \nSaturday\, August 2\nQuartet 101 • 9:15–10:30 a.m.\nQuartet Smarter\, Not Harder • 10:45–11:45 a.m.\nGetting Out of Your Head and Into Your Heart • 1:45–2:45 p.m.\nLet’s Sing a Tag! • 3–4 p.m.\nRising Star Quartet Contest • 6 p.m. \n\nDetails about Registration\, Venue\, Parking\, etc.\nRegistration Deadline: Registration for the Jurassic Chords Quartet Retreat closes on July 25\, 2025.\nWhat’s Included in the $75 Registration Fee: Your registration fee includes access to all four classes with Clever Girl and admission to the Diamond Division and Rising Star Quartet Contests.

Singers don’t need to be members of Sweet Adelines International to compete. Some great quartet singers got their competitive start at the Rising Star Quartet Contest. For example\, Rising Star champion quartets LoveNotes (2005\, as UnderAge)\, ClassRing (2014) and The Ladies (2016) went on to become Sweet Adelines International champion quartets (2014\, 2019\, and 2023\, respectively). Hot Pursuit (2018) went on to become Harmony\, Inc. 2019 Quartet Champions. But Rising Star isn’t only about winning. It’s about the joy of singing barbershop with other young singers\, the thrill of performing on stage\, and most of all\, the friendships and memories. \nRecognizing the Legacy of Connie Noble\nThe family and friends of Connie Noble graciously donated the funds for the first\, second\, and third place awards of the Rising Star Quartet Contest. Connie was a devoted Sweet Adeline for 50 years. She served as a coach\, mentor\, leader\, and director\, and to date remains the only individual to have the distinction of singing in four International Champion Quartets — 4th Edition (1972)\, High Society (1976)\, Savvy (1988)\, and Fanatix (2002). \nContest Questions?\n\n\n\nFor questions about the Rising Star Quartet Contest\, please contact competition@sweetadelines.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nfrom: https://sweetadelines.com/events/rising-star-quartet-contest
